​🚢 Closed Test 0.11.7, New Ships (American Light Cruiser, EU [Greek] Destroyer, British Carrier)

[S0und_Theif]

New Ships - Closed Testing 0.11.7

American cruiser Vallejo, European destroyer Velos and British aircraft carrier Malta have been added to the game for testing.

 

American cruiser Vallejo, Tier IX

One of the versions of the project, which preceded the creation of Worcester-class cruisers. The main armament is ten 152-mm dual-purpose guns in five turrets.

Vallejo is a light cruiser with improved ballistics and good firing range, as well as a Spotting Aircraft consumable with an accelerated reload, which allows her to fire effectively at long ranges.

The ship's consumables are presented by the Defensive AA Fire and a Repair Party in separate slots, as well as a Rapid Takeoff Spotter with fast reload and a Fighter consumables in a single slot. At the same time, unlike other American high Tier cruisers, it has no Hydroacoustic Search and Surveillance Radar consumables. 

 

European destroyer Velos, Tier IX

One of the many Fletcher-class destroyers which was transferred to the Greek Navy in 1959.

The destroyer has rapid-firing main battery guns and one torpedo launcher with fast reload. The ship also features good concealment and a Smoke Generator with a long smoke screen dispersion time. 

In addition to the Smoke Generator, the ship's equipment is represented by the Engine Boost and the Defensive AA Fire consumables in separate slots.

 

British aircraft carrier Malta, Tier X

A project of a large aircraft carrier with an armored deck, which was developed during the war, taking into account the experience of military operations in the Pacific.

The aircraft carrier has a large number of aircraft in the squadron and attack flight compared to the researchable British aircraft carriers. Another feature of the ship is her dive bombers attacking in a horizontal flight and carrying AP bombs . 

 

 

 

Also, as an experiment to familiarize new players with the game, special ships identical in characteristics to La Galissonniere and Richelieu have been added. They will be given to new players. These ships can only be used in Co-op or Training Battles. 

 

 

 

Please note that all information in the development blog is preliminary. Announced adjustments and features may change multiple times during testing. The final information will be published on our game's website.

Sadly, no IJN CL in this DevBlog.

 

 

Quite sad and disappointed to see that Malta is a Premium ship rather than a Tech tree ship.

Malta would have been a better T10 tech tree ship than Audacious.

Since Audacious is a T9 and not a T10.

 

 

Also, these 3 new ships seems to have no camo or bland color camo.

Maybe because the art department has started moving and did not have time to put ship camouflage?

[Reinhard_of_Avercland]

Holy Virgin Elizabeth the first... IT'S MALTA!

Vallejo is what Seattle should be, minus the lack of hydro. Not having radar is ok, American radar sucks anyway. But a high tier cruiser without hydro is a heresy.

 

[Sambo_Cigars]

The Velos a doubloons ships?

 

[Verytis]

Just stick a range mod on Worcester and basically you'd have a Vallejo. The ship is being forced into being a 1 trick pony just so it can get T9 MM.

[Paladinum]

Spotter Plane with US CR ballistics. What kind of monster approved of that?

It's always safe to assume all premium ships are Doubloon ships.

It's clear that Vallejo will get better ballistics (Austin/Jinan, San diego/Atlanta), or the spotter plane is almost useless.

The only question is how good it'll be.

Having bland color camo is perfectly fine on cold war ships IMO. In fact I prefer bland color camo on cold war ships than fancy ones

[Mechfori]

Velos , now just tell how WG unable to provide viable torpedo boats , now even the mad speed Torp Euro DD had to revert to mad gunning instead

They have superb handling, so they can be excluded on this case.

[Gesterbein]

I just got feeling Vallejo will change her HE to SAP a few patch later beacuse "reason" like "performance not gud enuff" kekw

The grey hull paint of these new ships may be 'bland' but at least they are not outright ugly like the permanent camouflage for the Harbin or the Charles Martel. I would very much like to buy a permanent camouflage for these cruiser but they have to be better looking than what is on offer right now. How hard can it be to design a permanent camo that isn't just drab looking?
